[bad word] mary_elizabeth_mcglynn

In here is a tragedy, 
Art thou player or audience? 
Be as it may, the end doth remain:
All go on only toward death.

The first word at thy left hand: 
false lunacy, a madly dancing man
Hearing unhearable words, drawn to a beloved's grave --
And there, mayhap, [bad word] madness at last.

As did this one playing at death, find [bad word] death at last.
Killing a nameless lover, 
She pierced a heart rent by sorrow.

Doth lie invite [bad word]  
Doth verity but wear the mask of falsehood? 
Ah, thou pitiful, 
Thou miserable ones. Still amidst lies, 
Though the [bad word] not, 
Wherefore yearn for death? 
Will thou attend to thy beloved? 

 [bad word] and lies, 
Life and death.
The game of turning white to black, 
And black to white.
